How to Avoid Heat.

During these hot days persons who have
much walking to do can avoid the heat
very nicely by arranging their perambu-
lations according to the shade of the
streets. If there is much travelling east
and west to be done, select the forenoon,
when the south side of the street is al
ways in the shade. Walking ON streets
which run north and south can be done
safely in the afternoon. This advice is
given for the benefit of those who are in
danger of sunstroke, but are ashamed to
carry an umbrella. BY careful use of
the shady side of streets a person need
not be in the sunshine long enough to
hurt him in the least. The recommenda-
ton given above applies to streets in gem
eral. OF course if a person, a bill col
lector, has to go along both sides of a
street, he may have to change the time
spoke of; for instance, take the north or
the east side In the forenoon. Physician

the Tartar is there in unadorned and I'M

separate hair has as much of an indie
pendent existence as the quilts of a por-
cupine. He lowered and glared upon
the crowd, while his wife in a carriage
behind him was, next to the Princess of
Wales, the prettiest royalty in the show,
though, perhaps, the slightest suggestion
of shrewishness in her expression. The
grand duke was attired IN an exceedingly
picturesque hussar uniform. The shake
was a species of turban with band of

braid, while the coat slung over the
shoulder was of cleaning white. New

Good Qualities of the Spider.

Among the many things that summer
brings for one to enjoy is the spider. The
spider family is numerous, there being no
less than fifty tribes. All of them have
eight legs, with three joints in each, ter
minating in thin crooked claws. l inter
viewed one yesterday, and the occasion
was SO impressive that it will long remain
green in memory. The one / had the
extreme pleasure of meeting had eight
eyes in the shape of a letter Y; ON the
front part of his head was pair of sharp
crooked claws or forceps, which stood
horizontally, and which, when not In
use, are hidden from view in little cases
beautifully adapted for their reception,
and in which they fold up like a clasp
knife, and remain there between two
rows of teeth. The outer skin is hard,
polished crust. From my recent expert
ence / am forced to the conclusion that
as an entertainer the unassuming Ameri-
can spider is immense, and never fails to
extend warm reception. He is remark
able as an architect and an upholsterer-
has wisdom, foresight and bravery and
he provides for himself, his family and
their future. Williamsport Grit.

THE HoHENzoLLERN FAMILY.
The Kaiser's Pictures Sent Everywher,

The Kaiser's Pictures Sent Everywhere.
Defrauding the PubIic-'Luck."
The inventive genius shown by the
photographers respecting the Hohenzol-
lern family is really admirable. Hardly
a day goes by that the shop windows do
not present new combinations which are
eagerly bought by the patriotic people.
No photographs sell SO well as those of
the imperial family. The kaiser s
pictures, especially, are manufactured in
numbers and sent in quantities over all
Europe, Asia, Africa and America.
These, of course, are not genuine as a
rule, only the heads are so, while the
bodies and arrangements in general are
from other people or the product of a
fertile artistic fancy.
Great artists, however, follow this
same plan where their subjects are i'm

He had placed ON exhibition in the show
window a photograph representing the
emperor with his great grandson upon
his knee. Naturally, the emperor had
never been photographed in this position.
The alleged descendant of his majesty
was simply a pretty child of a Berlin
policeman, which closely resembled the
offspring of Prince William. The origi-
nator was fined because of intention
ally defrauding the public Lately
another of the same genie has appeared
in the windows, showing the emperor at
the historical window with the ruler of
the fourth generation at his side. This
picture has become tremendously popu-
lar, though not more genuine than its
predecessor, and for a wonder has not
been forbidden.
The latest of all is picture entitled
'Hohenzollern Luck" The grouping is
purely a flight of fancy, though, one
should add, very pretty one. The cen
ter of the group is, as usual, the emperor
standing on a garden terrace, holding
with his left hand the son of Prince
William, who is clothed in white. and.
leaning his head upon the monarch, en-
deavors to grasp the latter's Iron
Cross which aderns his breast. The
second son stands on a wall near by,
while the eldest brother, holding toy in
his hand, stands before the kaiser with
look which seems to say, Il am future
ruler. " On the right of the emperor
stands Prince William in the Hussar
uniform, bending over his wife. who
holds the youngest scion, August William,
born ON the 27th of January. The Hanel

HOW a s.eeple Climber ESCAPED.

One of the noted characters of Cincin-
natl, the ''steeple climber" died the other
night. His name in full was Joseph Rod
riguez Weston and nearly thirty years he
has been climbing steeples in this city.
No point was too high and dizzy for him
to reach and maintain his steady foothold.
Of late years he would undertake only
those difficult feats that appalled, others.
1t was his pardonable boast that he could
go as high or higher than any other man.
There are many stories of his hazardous
exploits in this city. The most notable,
probably, was the draping of the cathe-
dral spire on the night following Arch
bishop Purcell's death. On the ground
below were 5000 or 1900 people eagerly
watching for glance at the daring man
as the lightning flashes revealed him on

TERMS OF CREDIT.
The Time Allowed by the Various Coun-
tries of the World.

The Time Allowed by the Various Coun-
tries of the World.
The following data regarding the terms
of credit allowed in various countries are
derived from reports of United States
consuls published by the government:
In Australia a credit of six months is
generally allowed.
In France a four months acceptance
is required to be sent in settlement of the
invoice.
In Italy but little credit business is
| done and none without good security
being given.
In Asia Minor credit of but two or
three weeks is in most cases all that is
| allowed.
In Cuba the time fixed for payment is
generally from four to five months after
delivery of the goods.
In the Ber1nudas accounts are settled
but once year. The 30th of June is the
day usually fixed for the payments.
In England a payment of the price of
the goods delivered is required at the end
of three months, dating from the day of
shipment.
In Austria it is scarcely possible to do
| business without allowing a very long
credit, which is nearly always one of six
| months.
In Spain four-fifths of the transactions
are done on a cash basis, while in Portu-
gal great liberality is shown and quite a
| long credit is usually allowed.
In Turkey even objects of prime neces-
| sity are sold on credit, and in this coun-
try, as well as in Russia, the time al
lowed is in most cases twelve months.
In China it is not customary to give
| credit. Money is obtained from lenders,
who exact an interest of from to IL per
cent. Business is nearly always con-
| Quoted upon a cash basis.
In Canada settlements are made at the
end of thirty days, with a discount of 8
| per cent. Sometimes a credit of from
| three to six months is allowed, but in this
| case there is no discount granted upon
payment of the account.
The consul general of the United States
| at Rio states that one of the greatest
| drawbacks to commercial intercourse
| with Brazil resides in the necessity of al
| lowing too long q credit. AT Rio JAN
| GIRO, as in Buenos Ayres, the minimum
| credit is six months and often more.
1t appears that in Germany the credit
system is very widespread, and that tile
time allowed purchasers to settle their
accounts is generally much longer than
in France and England. Nearly every
commercial and manufacturing branch
| of business has its own particular terms
| of credit, and there is no uniformity in
| this respect
In Mexico the large commercial houses
willingly give credit of from six to eight
| months, and in the retail trade long
| terms are given customers in which tC
settle their accounts. In Costa RIGA a
credit of from six to twelve months is
| given in case of merchandise imported
from Europe, in order that the goods
may be easily and quickly disposed of.
But since this system of credit has often
led to losses it is now being given up

TURPENTlNE FARMING.
The Extent of tho Crops-When the
Season Commences.


Season Commences.
Finding myself in the pine region of
southeast Georgia, and thinking that
some information ON the subject above
named may not prove uninteresting to
your readers, / will endeavor to tell them
that which has been impaired to me by
those thoroughly conversant with the
whole business. A turpentine farm con-
sists of from five to forty crops of 10, 500
boxes each. The work is sometimes
carried on by the owners of the forests
themselves; again, the trees are leased
out for a certain number of years, two
or three being about the limit. Negro
labor is principally employed in this sec
ton.
The work commences in November,
when the boxing of the tree begins. The
boxes, which are cut sloping back into
the trees about a foot from the ground,
measure three inches back at the bot
tom, four inches deep and about seven
teen inches in length. In March they
are cornered; that is, chip is taken off
on both sides just above the ends of
the boxes. Next the faces for dripping
are cut V shape between and above the
places Clipped. The number of faces on
each tree depends upon its size, varying
from one to three. Besides the original
cutting of the faces, the trees are hacked
once week during the dripping season
with peculiarly shaped knife suited to
the purpose. The hacking increases the
length of the faces, as one or two inches
of the bark are taken off above each time.
The dripping of the crude into barrels
begins about the middle of March, and
the boxes are emptied seven or eight
times during the season. They hold
from one to two quarts each, and from
10000 boxes 210 barrels is considered a
fair, and $50 barrels a fine yield. The
first years dripping is called virgin, -
the second ''yearling'' and all after ''old
stuff From eight barrels of crude they
get two of spirits of turpentine and five
to five and half of resin. Of the latter
there are several grades: w. w, ''water

Our little will be four years OF age ON the
18th inst. In May, 1885, he attacked with n
very painful breaking out of the skin. We called
in physician who treated him for about four
weeks The child received little good from
the treatment, as the breaking out, supposed by
the physician to be hives in an aggravated form,
became larger in blotches, and more and more dis
tressing. We were frequently obliged to get up in
the night and rub him with soda in water, strong
liniments etc. Finally, called other ysicians
until no less than six had attempted to cure him,
all alike failing, and the child steadily getting
worse and worse until about the Goth of last July
when we began to give him CUTICURA REsoLvENT
internally, and the CUTIcuRA, and CUTIcuRA Soar
externally and the last OF August he was 50 nearly
well that we gave him only one dose of the REsoL-
